- 0:51Speaker 4: Big deal. For Matt Flynn, former NFL quarterback. Top ten
- 0:58Speaker 4: NFL quarterback rankings. Once he gets set up.
- 1:03Speaker 3: And they might be spooky. We're going to find out.
- 1:05Speaker 3: I told you all earlier. I made a big announcement.
- 1:07Speaker 5: I said my relationship status is complicated right now with
- 1:10Speaker 5: artificial intelligence. We're exploring other options. George Paul Thomas. It's
- 1:18Speaker 5: been a good run. It might continue. We will find out.
- 1:21Speaker 5: But you embarrassed me in front of my friends one
- 1:24Speaker 5: too many times during these quarterback rankings. You got too
- 1:26Speaker 5: many logos wrong. You got too many stats wrong. Kirk
- 1:30Speaker 5: Cousins does not play for the Vikings anymore. Juno Smith
- 1:34Speaker 5: does not play for the Raiders. You kept getting it wrong.
- 1:39Speaker 5: And you embarrassed me.
- 1:39Speaker 3: So guess what?
- 1:40Speaker 5: We're exploring our options now. Taking someone else out on
- 1:44Speaker 5: a date today.
- 1:46Speaker 4: Claude.
- 1:49Speaker 3: I'm looking at this PowerPoint. It's a better PowerPoint.
- 1:53Speaker 5: We're going to find out. Guess what? I didn't check
- 1:56Speaker 5: one thing on it. Well, now I'm really excited. I
- 2:02Speaker 5: didn't check one stat on it.
- 2:04Speaker 3: You know why?
- 2:04Speaker 5: Because you trust. Because I trust. I wanted to give
- 2:09Speaker 5: this new option every opportunity to win the job.
- 2:13Speaker 3: All right. To steal my heart. Yeah. So here we go.
- 2:16Speaker 3: Y'all ready? Yeah. Let's go. Week five. NFL quarterback power.
- 2:21Speaker 5: Coming in at number 10.
- 2:28Speaker 4: Looks a little different.
- 2:29Speaker 5: It does look a little different. Matthew Stafford, you're back in, baby.
- 2:34Speaker 5: You know, if you just played decent, played well, played exciting,
- 2:37Speaker 5: you're going to get in my top ten.
- 2:38Speaker 3: Why? Because you're awesome. I'm a big fan.
- 2:41Speaker 5: On the season, 139-216, 1,572 yards, nine touchdowns, six interceptions, though.
- 2:47Speaker 5: And the Rams are two and three. But it has
- 2:51Speaker 5: been exciting. They had that Monday night overtime loss, which
- 2:55Speaker 5: was an awesome game. That was one of the best
- 2:56Speaker 5: games of the season to watch. He played awesome. Josh
- 2:59Speaker 5: Allen played a little bit better. Um, but best in
- 3:02Speaker 5: the NFL and passing yards and completion. So let's go
- 3:05Speaker 5: to number nine.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Kurt Thuggy.
- 3:08Speaker 4: Hell yeah, brother.
- 3:09Speaker 1: All right.
- 3:09Speaker 3: They had a bad. Okay.
- 3:10Speaker 5: So this last, I got towards the end of this list.
- 3:12Speaker 5: Maybe I sort of switched these two, but he's moving
- 3:14Speaker 5: up one from number 10. He's moving up even with
- 3:17Speaker 5: a loss. What the Raiders have done so far in
- 3:19Speaker 5: the season is very impressive. Even with dropping this one
- 3:23Speaker 5: this past week, the Raiders are three and two. Kirko
- 3:26Speaker 5: with 1,269 yards passing, 12 touchdowns to four interceptions, touting
- 3:32Speaker 5: a 100.6 QBR. Tied for second in the NFL with
- 3:38Speaker 5: 12 touchdown passes. So he's here because they are working
- 3:43Speaker 5: very efficiently.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Brock Bowers is playing really good for the Raiders.
- 3:46Speaker 5: The Raiders have been a nice surprise this season, and
- 3:51Speaker 5: one of the main reasons is because of Kirko Duggins.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Let's go to number eight.
- 3:56Speaker 4: He's got a lot of names.
- 3:58Speaker 3: He's back, baby. You knew he wasn't going to be
- 4:01Speaker 3: gone for long.
- 4:02Speaker 6: Mr.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Joe Burrow. Best in the NFL completion percentage. 71.4%.
- 4:09Speaker 5: He's the most accurate passer in the league. But he
- 4:16Speaker 5: does have modest yardage. 1,361 yards passing. 11 touchdowns to
- 4:20Speaker 5: 3 interceptions.
- 4:21Speaker 3: And he's done a lot of it without.
- 4:24Speaker 5: More chase even though he's back playing great but guess
- 4:27Speaker 5: what Joe Burrow is the engine that keeps that bingle
- 4:30Speaker 5: train rolling Joe you are back in the top 10
- 4:33Speaker 5: welcome back I know it's a big deal for you
- 4:35Speaker 5: probably print this out put it on the refrigerator this
- 4:37Speaker 5: week congratulations you're in the top 10 you're number eight
- 4:40Speaker 5: let's go to number seven Lamar Jackson moving up two
- 4:45Speaker 5: spots hey.
- 4:45Speaker 4: Didn't even play and gets to move up two spots Man,
- 4:50Speaker 4: must have had a really good game against Biweek, even
- 4:52Speaker 4: though they played the Falcons.
- 4:53Speaker 5: He had a big practice. He had a big practice. He,
- 4:56Speaker 5: you know, just shut up. He just moved up to it.
- 4:59Speaker 7: So relax.
- 5:01Speaker 4: Just shut up.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Yeah, just shut up.
- 5:03Speaker 4: Shut up and dribble.
- 5:04Speaker 3: That's right. He's the best.
- 5:05Speaker 5: So he has played in about 50, just I think
- 5:07Speaker 5: like 50% of the snaps.
- 5:09Speaker 3: And so I get it. Maybe a little high. I
- 5:10Speaker 3: don't really know.
- 5:11Speaker 5: But he's got a fantastic QBR this year. And he's,
- 5:16Speaker 5: last year, they weren't that great. He didn't play his best,
- 5:19Speaker 5: but he has been the most efficient quarterback with the
- 5:21Speaker 5: football when he's been healthy this season. So I gave
- 5:24Speaker 5: him a little bit more respect for what he's done.
- 5:26Speaker 5: Even though he has dealt with some injuries, he will
- 5:28Speaker 5: be back this week. But even in his missed time,
- 5:31Speaker 5: he's still almost 1,000 yards passing, almost 150 yards rushing.
- 5:35Speaker 5: And so we know who the player is, two-time MVP
- 5:38Speaker 5: in this league. We'll see where he goes when he
- 5:41Speaker 5: comes back on this list. But I gave him a
- 5:43Speaker 5: little bit more respect than I think I had been
- 5:46Speaker 5: giving him And this back end of the list, my
- 5:49Speaker 5: first six were easy.
- 5:50Speaker 3: The back end was a little bit more challenging. Go
- 5:52Speaker 3: to six. Trevor Lawrence. What's up, T-Law? Sunshine. Number six
- 5:59Speaker 3: on the list, the Jaguars. They're 4-1.
- 6:02Speaker 2: The Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 6:04Speaker 5: But he's got 10 TDs, three interceptions, touted a 106.8 QBR.
- 6:11Speaker 3: Man, what a crazy. We need to talk about that game.
- 6:14Speaker 3: The game that. If you take the Monday night game
- 6:17Speaker 3: out of it, that's the game of the week. That
- 6:18Speaker 3: was unbelievable.
- 6:19Speaker 4: That was a real dum-dum situation to kick it off there.
- 6:23Speaker 4: Darned Eye is a real big dum-dum.
- 6:26Speaker 5: I just don't think he drops in my list. I
- 6:29Speaker 5: don't think he didn't have an MVP-type game, but he's
- 6:33Speaker 5: having a potentially MVP trajectory of a season. He's not
- 6:38Speaker 5: at the top of that list right now, but having
- 6:41Speaker 5: his best season by far. The Jaguars are for real.
- 6:44Speaker 5: So Trevor Lawrence coming in at number six. Let's go
- 6:45Speaker 5: to number five.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Bryce Young. Did you see him in a game day?
- 6:54Speaker 3: How'd he do? I didn't watch game day. He was
- 6:57Speaker 3: the guest picker.
- 6:59Speaker 4: Let's see.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Did he fall? He fell two spots. He didn't play.
- 7:02Speaker 3: He fell two spots. Huh?
- 7:04Speaker 4: Some people would say he fell two spots.
- 7:06Speaker 8: He fell two spots.
- 7:07Speaker 3: He fell two spots. Oh, that's not real money.
- 7:11Speaker 4: Oh, even me.
- 7:13Speaker 5: Know that's not real money. 101 of 162, 1,268 yards,
- 7:15Speaker 5: nine touchdowns, two interceptions. He's got some rushing. I like
- 7:18Speaker 5: the guy's playing. Fantastic. Same explanation I'll give this week
- 7:22Speaker 5: as I did last week. The reason why he fell
- 7:25Speaker 5: is because some other people, I think, have elevated their play,
- 7:28Speaker 5: and some other people have just made it too hard
- 7:30Speaker 5: to ignore.
- 7:31Speaker 4: So let's go to number four. I've got Bryce Young
- 7:33Speaker 4: plus 8,000 MVP, by the way.
- 7:35Speaker 3: I got it at plus 6 or 65 or something
- 7:36Speaker 3: like that.
- 7:37Speaker 4: Real quick, T-Loft?
- 7:39Speaker 8: Fourth best odds to win MVP, plus 750.
- 7:42Speaker 3: I don't understand why Bryce Young hasn't. He's playing like
- 7:44Speaker 3: a no man. I don't understand why Bryce Young hadn't got,
- 7:47Speaker 3: or at least on the MVP.
- 7:48Speaker 8: He hasn't.
- 7:49Speaker 7: I guess he moved up like 1,000 when we last checked.
- 7:52Speaker 7: It was plus 6,000. I think for you it was
- 7:54Speaker 7: plus 8,000. But whenever I was looking on DraftKings, it
- 7:59Speaker 7: was plus 6,000. He was plus 5,000. So he hasn't
- 8:01Speaker 7: moved a lot.
- 8:02Speaker 5: Yeah, and Chat, you're right. My rules for the quarterback list, yeah,
- 8:05Speaker 5: they're a mystery. Cause you were like, yeah, shut up.
- 8:08Speaker 4: Drop.
- 8:08Speaker 3: Cause he didn't play.
- 8:09Speaker 8: Lamar Jackson.
- 8:11Speaker 3: So the reason why two spots.
- 8:12Speaker 5: So the real reason why he, he dropped isn't because
- 8:15Speaker 5: he didn't play. It's because some other guys like I
- 8:18Speaker 5: couldn't ignore.
- 8:18Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 8:19Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 8:19Speaker 3: Couldn't ignore him.
- 8:20Speaker 8: No, that's fair.
- 8:21Speaker 3: I couldn't ignore that.
- 8:22Speaker 5: And then I like did, did Matthew Stafford deserve to
- 8:27Speaker 5: jump Lamar Jackson after being out?
- 8:29Speaker 3: Did Kirk, Duggins deserved to drop the jump tomorrow. No.
- 8:32Speaker 3: Joe Burrow was out of the top ten last week.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Did he deserve? That's kind of why he moved up
- 8:36Speaker 3: a little bit. No one else wanted the job.
- 8:38Speaker 4: I can't wait to see the three people better than
- 8:40Speaker 4: Josh Allen.
- 8:41Speaker 3: I know. This was tight.
- 8:42Speaker 5: So he was five last week in my ratings. Josh
- 8:46Speaker 5: Allen's Superman. Like, he's probably the best. It's hard to
- 8:50Speaker 5: say this, and it's going to make sense to probably
- 8:53Speaker 5: no one. He's probably the best overall player. in the NFL,
- 8:56Speaker 5: but from a quarterbacking standpoint, like this list is a
- 8:59Speaker 5: little bit different. Like what, who did he just pass
- 9:02Speaker 5: on the all-time NFL rushing touchdown list?
- 9:05Speaker 4: He's like, he's all time bills. And that's like Thurman Thomas.
- 9:08Speaker 9: He's not too far away from like, I think he's
- 9:10Speaker 9: like seventh all time. And the six ahead of him
- 9:13Speaker 9: are like hall of fame running backs.
- 9:14Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 9:15Speaker 5: And the, I think the last 20 he passed are
- 9:18Speaker 5: Hall of Fame running backs. You're right.
- 9:19Speaker 9: That's something I've always thought of Josh Allen. Is he
- 9:21Speaker 9: the best quarterback in the NFL? I don't know, but
- 9:23Speaker 9: he's probably the best player in the NFL. He's probably
- 9:24Speaker 9: the best player.
- 9:25Speaker 5: I don't understand how this guy didn't ever get dinged
- 9:28Speaker 5: up or anything.
- 9:29Speaker 3: His body is a tank. It doesn't look like it.
- 9:33Speaker 4: Let me tell you, he is not like this guy
- 9:38Speaker 4: that walks into a room and you're like, dude, that's
- 9:41Speaker 4: a unit there. He doesn't look like a very normal human.
- 9:45Speaker 3: Right.
- 9:45Speaker 4: But he takes a shot and never stops. He delivers
- 9:50Speaker 4: them too.
- 9:51Speaker 3: He does.
- 9:51Speaker 5: And it's impressive what he does. We don't need to
- 9:54Speaker 5: explain Josh Allen to you. He never really leads in
- 9:58Speaker 5: these efficiency categories or protecting the ball categories. We see
- 10:02Speaker 5: him make mistakes every now and then. He used to
- 10:04Speaker 5: make a lot more than he does now. My God,
- 10:07Speaker 5: it's impressive. But who is a better quarterback?
- 10:11Speaker 3: Are you serious? There's three better quarterbacks than Josh Allen? Well,
- 10:16Speaker 3: let's see who it is. Number three.
- 10:18Speaker 4: I did it. I did it.
- 10:21Speaker 3: Finally. I couldn't ignore it. The body of work.
- 10:26Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 10:27Speaker 3: The body of work just built and built and built
- 10:31Speaker 3: and built. Jared Goff, number three. Hell yeah, brother. Please
- 10:36Speaker 3: don't make me regret this, Jared. I know you're listening.
- 10:39Speaker 4: 12 touchdowns, no interception.
- 10:41Speaker 3: Matt, even if he doesn't have the best game this weekend.
- 10:43Speaker 4: Quarterback ranking is second on this list so far.
- 10:45Speaker 3: He hasn't turned it. 128 of 191 on the season.
- 10:46Speaker 5: 1,485 yards passing, 12 touchdowns, zero interceptions, 111.3 QBR, 45-21
- 11:01Speaker 5: win over Arizona. Now their three wins have been against
- 11:03Speaker 5: the Cardinals, Saints, and Jets, which, you know, whatever.
- 11:08Speaker 4: Jets' defense is good.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Salty.
- 11:11Speaker 4: No, it's like top in almost every category.
- 11:13Speaker 8: Yeah, I have them on one of my teams.
- 11:15Speaker 4: Yeah, they're a good defense. They just– Not explosive enough
- 11:18Speaker 4: on all. Now, they beat the Browns. That was a
- 11:19Speaker 4: good win.
- 11:21Speaker 3: I finally did it, though.
- 11:22Speaker 5: And I thought that forever he was going to, like,
- 11:26Speaker 5: he was going to range.
- 11:27Speaker 3: In that six to nine. I know. Because he's not sexy.
- 11:30Speaker 3: He's not sexy.
- 11:31Speaker 4: The last three years, yards, touchdowns, and wins. He's number
- 11:35Speaker 4: one in the NFL.
- 11:37Speaker 3: I think completion percentage as well.
- 11:40Speaker 4: Something like that. Second in quarterback rating, only behind Lamar.
- 11:42Speaker 5: Listen to this. So, I saw this yesterday. I was scrolling,
- 11:45Speaker 5: and this made my decision. Career totals before turning 32
- 11:50Speaker 5: years of age. Tom Brady, 87 wins. Jared Goff, 93.
- 11:53Speaker 5: Dan Marino, 40,024 passing yards. Jared Goff, 41,107 passing yards.
- 11:57Speaker 5: How about that? Peyton Manning, 94.7 rating. Jared Goff, 97.3 rating.
- 12:01Speaker 5: All before the age of 32. Beating some of the
- 12:16Speaker 5: all-time greats.
- 12:17Speaker 9: So what you're saying is you could combine Brady, Manning,
- 12:21Speaker 9: and Marino, and you get Jared Goff.
- 12:23Speaker 4: Exactly.
- 12:24Speaker 3: That's what it sounds like.
- 12:25Speaker 4: Basically.
- 12:26Speaker 5: And he's only number three on the list just because
- 12:28Speaker 5: I just can't. My brain's in a pretzel thinking about
- 12:31Speaker 5: Jared Goff. Kind of weird, but okay.
- 12:34Speaker 4: What? I just think you should give yourself over to him.
- 12:36Speaker 3: Has anybody, before we get to the top two, has
- 12:39Speaker 3: anybody fact-checked into these stats?
- 12:40Speaker 4: Yes.
- 12:41Speaker 9: I have fact-checked every single quarterback, and every single one
- 12:44Speaker 9: of them is right so far.
- 12:45Speaker 3: Boom! This date's going well.
- 12:47Speaker 4: Number two.
- 12:47Speaker 3: It's up there, man. Patrick Mahomes. Well, y'all ever heard
- 12:53Speaker 3: of him? Yeah. He's pretty good. This is also a commercial.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Didn't he go to, like, five straight AFC championships? Something
- 13:01Speaker 3: like that?
- 13:01Speaker 4: Had a chance to win three straight Super Bowls, yeah. Yeah,
- 13:03Speaker 4: pretty good.
- 13:03Speaker 3: Pretty good player. And he's back.
- 13:06Speaker 5: I don't know how, but his knee just kind of
- 13:08Speaker 5: like healed up perfectly in like a super fast period
- 13:11Speaker 5: of time.
- 13:12Speaker 3: He's back.
- 13:12Speaker 5: Looking forward to watching him playing more football. That's really
- 13:15Speaker 5: my breakdown. I just want to watch him play more football.
- 13:17Speaker 5: I just want to tune in. He's much watched TV
- 13:19Speaker 5: every single time he takes the football field with a
- 13:22Speaker 5: helmet on.
- 13:23Speaker 4: I got no argument from you.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Got no argument. But the number one, holding it down,
- 13:27Speaker 3: I think three weeks in a row.
- 13:28Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
- 13:30Speaker 5: Number one quarterback in the NFL currently is Brock Purdy.
- 13:34Speaker 3: Mr.
- 13:34Speaker 4: Irrelevant himself.
- 13:37Speaker 3: Now, yardage isn't going to, like, jump off the page
- 13:40Speaker 3: at you.
- 13:41Speaker 5: 9,842 yards passing, 1,196 yards, 13 touchdowns, two interceptions.
- 13:47Speaker 3: But guess what?
- 13:49Speaker 5: 119.3 quarterback ranking, and the 49ers are 5-0 undefeated. Why
- 13:56Speaker 5: doesn't he have a lot of yardage? Because sometimes they
- 13:58Speaker 5: don't need it. Because they're so damn good. Because he's
- 14:01Speaker 5: so damn good. Best in the NFL at touchdown passes,
- 14:04Speaker 5: TD rate, and the lowest sack rate. Sacked only three times.
- 14:09Speaker 4: Hard to get to.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a hard stat for Claude to pull as well.
- 14:13Speaker 3: But he did it. Three. Sacked three times. And he's
- 14:16Speaker 3: hard to get. He's just nimble.
- 14:18Speaker 4: I mean, outside of Claude in the top left corner
- 14:22Speaker 4: saying quarterbacks drive everything, which is kind of weird. Yeah.
- 14:25Speaker 4: Outside of that, well done, Claude.
- 14:27Speaker 3: Did you put that in there, Matt? I didn't.
- 14:29Speaker 5: I kind of fed it the graphic from my other,
- 14:33Speaker 5: my ex now. Fed it the graphic from my ex.
- 14:36Speaker 5: You said take this and be less toxic. Take this,
- 14:39Speaker 5: be less toxic. Thank you. But look, Brock Purdy combines
- 14:43Speaker 5: production efficiency and winning better than anyone in the NFL.
- 14:46Speaker 5: That's why he's the best quarterback in the NFL right now.
- 14:49Speaker 5: I think I've got a couple more just add-ons to
- 14:51Speaker 5: this list. I think your boys are going to be
- 14:53Speaker 5: on this list. Kicked out of the top ten. Tyler Shuck,
- 14:57Speaker 5: previously number six.
- 14:59Speaker 3: You're out of there.
- 15:00Speaker 5: You're not going to get my son negative 1.5 points
- 15:02Speaker 5: in fantasy and him get upset like that.
- 15:05Speaker 3: And still be in my top ten. I saved your
- 15:07Speaker 3: life once. That's true.
- 15:09Speaker 5: But you're out of the top ten. Dak Prescott, you're
- 15:11Speaker 5: out of here. Cowboys suck. Players only meeting alert. Players
- 15:15Speaker 5: only meeting alert. The Cowboys had a players only meeting.
- 15:19Speaker 4: After five weeks?
- 15:20Speaker 5: After five weeks, if your team is having a players
- 15:23Speaker 5: only meeting, you're automatically out of my.
- 15:25Speaker 3: Top ten list.
- 15:26Speaker 4: Later, dude.
- 15:27Speaker 8: Who led it?
- 15:28Speaker 4: Players.
- 15:30Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 15:30Speaker 4: All of them. They crush a lot.
- 15:32Speaker 3: Uh, feeling frisky at the quarterback position. Jordan love my guy.
- 15:36Speaker 5: I knew he was going to be on there. He
- 15:37Speaker 5: knew he was going to be on there. My God,
- 15:39Speaker 5: the guy is slinging it around 1,408 yards.
- 15:41Speaker 4: He's got to, cause there's running backs.
- 15:44Speaker 5: I know those, uh, Matthew golden and Christian Watson playing really, really.
- 15:48Speaker 9: Well between golden Watson and craft. Like that's a tough
- 15:53Speaker 9: trio to overcome. I mean, there's not a lot of
- 15:54Speaker 9: guys that have that.
- 15:55Speaker 3: Yep. Um, my other guy, Aaron Rogers feeling frisky. Hello.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Watch it.
- 16:01Speaker 5: 1,234 yards, 10 touchdowns. I know they're throwing a lot
- 16:04Speaker 5: of short passes. They're getting it out, but who cares?
- 16:07Speaker 5: They're being pretty darn efficient. Watch out for the Steelers. Hello,
- 16:11Speaker 5: Paris France in two weeks.
- 16:14Speaker 3: This one hurt. This one hurt me to put up.
- 16:16Speaker 8: What is it? I can't see.
- 16:19Speaker 3: CJ Stroud.
- 16:20Speaker 4: Ah, yeah.
- 16:21Speaker 3: I mean, they've lost every game.
- 16:23Speaker 4: They won one.
- 16:24Speaker 3: Did they win one?
- 16:25Speaker 4: Who did they beat?
- 16:25Speaker 7: Tennessee.
- 16:26Speaker 3: Tennessee.
- 16:26Speaker 8: Does that count?
- 16:27Speaker 3: That doesn't count. That's not real.
- 16:28Speaker 4: Like a minor league.
- 16:29Speaker 3: It counts on the record. It's not real. He's not real.
- 16:34Speaker 3: CJ Stroud, 1,402 yards, zero interceptions on the year. And then. Wait,
- 16:38Speaker 3: I'm a little shocked by that.
- 16:39Speaker 4: I'm not going to lie.
- 16:39Speaker 3: They can't run the football either. I'm beyond shocked.
- 16:42Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 16:42Speaker 3: I'm so beyond shocked.
- 16:43Speaker 2: I've paid.
- 16:44Speaker 8: Zero attention to C.J. Stroud this season.
- 16:47Speaker 7: The fact that you just said he had zero interceptions
- 16:50Speaker 7: is the first I'm hearing of this.
- 16:51Speaker 9: And completing 64% of his passes.
- 16:53Speaker 3: That's what this list is for.
- 16:54Speaker 8: That's what it is.
- 16:55Speaker 4: That's what this list is for.
- 16:56Speaker 5: I sold all my C.J. Stroud cards before the season, too.
- 16:58Speaker 5: And my Flynn-credible performance of the week.
- 17:01Speaker 3: What is it? Drake May, 374 yards and a 45-17
- 17:02Speaker 3: win over a very good Las Vegas right now. We're
- 17:09Speaker 3: going to see where Drake is in a few weeks.
- 17:11Speaker 5: He started out a little dicey, confidence, maybe seeing some ghosts,
- 17:14Speaker 5: but I think those ghosts have been.
- 17:16Speaker 3: In fairness to.
- 17:17Speaker 9: Him, a lot of the guys around him were hurt.
- 17:19Speaker 3: Exercised. AJ Brown back in practice yesterday.
- 17:22Speaker 4: I have exercised.
- 17:24Speaker 5: So this list is going to be, there's going to
- 17:26Speaker 5: be some changes coming. Caleb Williams, he's going to come back.
- 17:29Speaker 5: How's Jaden going.
- 17:30Speaker 8: To continue to play? Isn't there another category?
- 17:35Speaker 3: There has been in the past. There's been a poo-poo.
- 17:37Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 17:38Speaker 7: You didn't do that this?
- 17:39Speaker 3: I didn't do a poo-poo. I didn't want to make
- 17:41Speaker 3: fun of Justin Herbert.
- 17:41Speaker 8: Justin again?
- 17:42Speaker 3: Yeah. And I got called a woman hater.
- 17:45Speaker 8: I mean, we're not the first ones to say it.
- 17:48Speaker 3: Toxicity.
- 17:49Speaker 7: We've literally gotten a phone call about how you hate women.
- 17:52Speaker 3: But it wasn't me.
- 17:53Speaker 8: We don't know who it was.
- 17:54Speaker 3: We don't.
- 17:54Speaker 4: It was both of us. We don't even remember what
- 17:56Speaker 4: it was.
- 17:57Speaker 8: We don't know who it was.
- 17:57Speaker 3: He never actually said who it was.
- 17:59Speaker 4: That's not very foxhole.
- 18:04Speaker 8: We're all women haters.
- 18:05Speaker 4: I tried to stand up for Madison Beer last week,
- 18:08Speaker 4: and I got hated on by you.
- 18:13Speaker 3: Wow, way to point that out. It's not very Foxhole
- 18:15Speaker 3: of you.
- 18:16Speaker 4: I thought we were doing that.
- 18:17Speaker 3: This is what we're doing? Anyway, there's the list.
- 18:20Speaker 5: Let's hear which one wins.
- 18:23Speaker 3: If this is The Bachelor.
- 18:24Speaker 4: Who are we proposing to?
- 18:28Speaker 3: Oh, this one for sure.
- 18:29Speaker 6: Claude, yeah.
- 18:30Speaker 1: Claude.
- 18:31Speaker 4: Even with the bad quote in the top left and
- 18:33Speaker 4: top right.
- 18:33Speaker 3: Because if nothing else, Matt, I love this.
- 18:36Speaker 9: The player you're talking about, it's in bold as it
- 18:39Speaker 9: goes up here.
- 18:40Speaker 3: You can see it a lot better. I know.
- 18:42Speaker 4: Love that.
- 18:42Speaker 3: It's very nice. And the stats are actually right.
- 18:45Speaker 9: True.
- 18:46Speaker 3: True.
- 18:47Speaker 8: That's a big deal.
- 18:48Speaker 3: Now, it didn't.
- 18:49Speaker 8: The stats are right.
- 18:50Speaker 3: It didn't. Wouldn't use the logos. It was very afraid
- 18:53Speaker 3: of trademark infringement.
- 18:54Speaker 4: We don't need that. Again, I would rather know. Chad
- 18:56Speaker 4: don't care.
- 18:57Speaker 3: I would rather know logo.
- 18:58Speaker 8: He's like, copyright infringement.
- 19:00Speaker 3: Yeah, right.
- 19:01Speaker 9: I'd rather know logo than cousins in a Vikings logo.
- 19:04Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:05Speaker 5: Chad's like, hey, can you use this real picture from
- 19:06Speaker 5: their website?
- 19:07Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, sure.
- 19:07Speaker 4: Why not?

- 21:12Speaker 3: Let's eat.
- 21:14Speaker 4: Chef, what's up, brother? Congratulations, a married man. I saw
- 21:19Speaker 4: that first step you had the other day, man. I
- 21:21Speaker 4: hadn't seen that first step look that quick in a
- 21:23Speaker 4: long time.
- 21:26Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Oh, man.
- 21:28Speaker 6: I feel good, buddy. That was a wonderful moment in life,
- 21:31Speaker 6: my friend.
- 21:32Speaker 4: Everything went well. Everything was good. I know you were traveling,
- 21:35Speaker 4: and you never know when you're traveling, but it looked like,
- 21:38Speaker 4: I saw a picture, it looked like everything kind of
- 21:40Speaker 4: went off as it was supposed to.
- 21:42Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's funny, because we were going to
- 21:43Speaker 6: do our first look at this castle that she and
- 21:45Speaker 6: I kind of.
- 21:46Speaker 4: Right.
- 21:47Speaker 6: We both grew up up there, right? There's this old
- 21:49Speaker 6: castle that was kind of special to us both, and
- 21:51Speaker 6: we were going to do our first look there. We
- 21:53Speaker 6: got to the castle the day before, just kind of
- 21:55Speaker 6: doing our pre-run-through and everything else, and they had put
- 22:00Speaker 6: a wood fence up around the castle. you know, uh,
- 22:03Speaker 6: violators will be prosecuted. So, uh, we had to, we
- 22:08Speaker 6: had to deviate from our, our, our original plan, but, uh, it, it,
- 22:12Speaker 6: it was great, man. You know, some of my, uh,
- 22:14Speaker 6: chef buddies were my groomsmen and, and we, uh, ended up,
- 22:17Speaker 6: you know, like in, in the Lake of the Ozarks, brother,
- 22:21Speaker 6: the food there is, uh, you know, like they have
- 22:23Speaker 6: what they call Cajun food. Um, but it, it leaves
- 22:26Speaker 6: a lot to be desired. And so, um, true. My
- 22:31Speaker 6: groomsmen and I, we cooked gumbo and red beans for
- 22:34Speaker 6: the reception in addition to other food, but I wanted
- 22:37Speaker 6: to make sure that we had some food that was edible.
- 22:39Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 22:41Speaker 3: Jeff, let me ask you this question. Congrats, of course.
- 22:44Speaker 5: That's amazing. I'm sure it was a great time. If
- 22:48Speaker 5: you are looking to celebrate a special event with people
- 22:51Speaker 5: very close to you, with loved ones.
- 22:52Speaker 3: What are you toasting with?
- 22:56Speaker 6: As far as champagne, you mean?
- 22:57Speaker 5: No, just like, what are you sitting around with your
- 22:59Speaker 5: loved ones and celebrating with a little victory drink?
- 23:03Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, it's usually a bourbon. You know, like,
- 23:09Speaker 6: my buddy found me a nice bottle of 10-year-old bourbon
- 23:12Speaker 6: that we were toasting over, and it was, you know,
- 23:17Speaker 6: there's bourbon, and there's good bourbon, and this stuff was
- 23:20Speaker 6: super smooth. You didn't have to have any water with it,
- 23:22Speaker 6: didn't need any ice with it. You could drink it
- 23:24Speaker 6: straight out of the glass, and Um, if you, yeah,
- 23:27Speaker 6: I like good bourbon.
- 23:29Speaker 7: Sure.
- 23:30Speaker 3: All right.
- 23:30Speaker 4: Let's get to some of these munchie questions. Hashtag munchies.
- 23:33Speaker 4: What is chef's favorite Greek dish?
- 23:36Speaker 6: Oh man, that's tough. You know, I don't, I, I,
- 23:41Speaker 6: I ate something when, um, I was in Greece that
- 23:43Speaker 6: I'd never had before. And it was, um, the best ceviche,
- 23:48Speaker 6: not ceviche cheese. Um, It was something like that, though.
- 23:54Speaker 6: But it was raw sea bass. They take it and
- 23:57Speaker 6: pound it out like you do beef tartare and then
- 24:01Speaker 6: serve it with fresh olive oil. And I mean, good
- 24:04Speaker 6: olive oil and capers. Man, I mean, you're making me
- 24:08Speaker 6: miss it right now, to be honest. So, well, I
- 24:12Speaker 6: don't know if I told you guys this or not,
- 24:13Speaker 6: but while I was in Greece, I befriended, you know,
- 24:17Speaker 6: my buddy and I, we befriended a restaurant owner and
- 24:19Speaker 6: she ended up letting us come into the kitchen and
- 24:21Speaker 6: cook with her chef and that was one of the
- 24:23Speaker 6: dishes that we did together. And it was, yeah, it
- 24:25Speaker 6: was beautiful.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Uh, let's see. Hashtag munchies is chef, a fan of
- 24:31Speaker 3: cheese curds. And does he make his own?
- 24:34Speaker 6: Oh gosh, I do love cheese curds, squeaky cheese, man.
- 24:36Speaker 6: I don't make my own, but, um, you know, like
- 24:39Speaker 6: you just reminded me of some poutine. I don't know
- 24:41Speaker 6: if you've ever had poutine before, man, but that's, that's a,
- 24:44Speaker 6: that's a special dish there. If you're, you've ever been
- 24:47Speaker 6: to Canada and, I do like cheese curds. I like
- 24:49Speaker 6: them squeaky and I like them melted. I like them fried.
- 24:53Speaker 6: I really haven't met too many cheese curds I didn't like.
- 24:57Speaker 5: Chef, explain to the listeners what poutine is because my
- 25:01Speaker 5: mouth just watered when you said that.
- 25:04Speaker 6: Traditionally, it's like french fries with a meat sauce or
- 25:08Speaker 6: chili or ground beef or something like that. The meat
- 25:10Speaker 6: sauce is the variable there, but it's usually french fries
- 25:13Speaker 6: with cheese curds. and then like a warm meat sauce.
- 25:18Speaker 6: I mean, it's like a, I don't know, it's kind
- 25:21Speaker 6: of like a nacho, right? But, I don't know, it's a, one,
- 25:26Speaker 6: it's a street food, late night street food. You'll see
- 25:29Speaker 6: it served a lot at 2 a.m. in the morning,
- 25:32Speaker 6: which I wasn't eating at 2 a.m., you know, like
- 25:35Speaker 6: I was eating at 2 a.m.
- 25:37Speaker 3: Yeah, french fries, cheese curds, and basically like gravy, and
- 25:40Speaker 3: it's just.
- 25:41Speaker 6: Yeah, right, yeah. Yeah, they, yeah, meat gravy, yeah. Oh,
- 25:43Speaker 6: he said, yeah. Sometimes it's kind of like beef debris.
- 25:47Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 25:48Speaker 6: Sometimes, yeah, yeah. But it's a warm, gooey dish.
- 25:52Speaker 3: That sounds fantastic. I need somebody in Baton Rouge that
- 25:54Speaker 3: makes that.
- 25:55Speaker 4: Anybody else? Any restaurants serving that?
- 25:57Speaker 3: I need to find it.
- 25:58Speaker 6: Yeah, we need to make that happen. I may have
- 26:00Speaker 6: to make some poutine here now that you say that.
- 26:02Speaker 3: Oh, come on. I'll take an invite.
- 26:04Speaker 4: Yeah. We've been trying to invite ourselves there for a
- 26:07Speaker 4: long time. Hashtag munchies. Has anyone tried sending Greg Sankey
- 26:12Speaker 4: a Snickers bar?
- 26:19Speaker 3: Hashtag munchies.
- 26:24Speaker 4: Traditional wedding cake or a different flavor?
- 26:28Speaker 7: Traditional.
- 26:29Speaker 6: Well, it was a traditional wedding cake, but we also
- 26:32Speaker 6: had little cupcakes. It was like a cake surrounded by cupcakes.
- 26:37Speaker 6: I'm a pretty easygoing guy. As long as you throw
- 26:40Speaker 6: in some chocolate in there every once in a while,
- 26:41Speaker 6: I'll be all right.
- 26:43Speaker 3: All right, hashtag bunchies here.
- 26:44Speaker 5: Chef, what's the difference between the expensive steaks, like in
- 26:47Speaker 5: the cold case, I'm assuming like behind the glass, or
- 26:50Speaker 5: the shrink-wrapped steaks at a regular grocery store, Rouse's or
- 26:55Speaker 5: something like that?
- 26:56Speaker 6: Yeah, it depends on what store you go to, to
- 26:58Speaker 6: be honest with you. Some of them, it's age, to
- 27:02Speaker 6: be honest with you. Because once they put them in
- 27:04Speaker 6: that vacuum little pack, it removes the oxygen from around it.
- 27:08Speaker 6: But typically what they do is they'll put, plus I
- 27:10Speaker 6: think there's also some... uh, quality. Like you have to
- 27:14Speaker 6: look and see what the, what the grading of it is.
- 27:16Speaker 6: Typically the stakes that they're hand cutting are going to be, uh,
- 27:20Speaker 6: prime prime cuts. Um, and, and I don't know if
- 27:23Speaker 6: you guys know what the grading system is, but it's
- 27:25Speaker 6: how much marbling it has in a, in a certain
- 27:27Speaker 6: amount of, in a, like a one by one inch. Um,
- 27:31Speaker 6: I think eight, 8% and below or below 8% is,
- 27:35Speaker 6: full active and you have choice that's up to like
- 27:38Speaker 6: 10 or 11% and 12% or better is, is, uh,
- 27:42Speaker 6: considered to be, um, prime. And then they have prime
- 27:46Speaker 6: plus double prime, stuff like that, where it's even more rich, more,
- 27:50Speaker 6: more fat, more marble.
- 27:53Speaker 4: All right. Last one here, chef. And we always appreciate
- 27:56Speaker 4: the time. Hashtag munchies besides coffee. Do you serve any
- 28:00Speaker 4: drink or food that will give energy or help keep
- 28:03Speaker 4: you awake?
- 28:05Speaker 6: Not here, we don't. We have soda machines, but we
- 28:08Speaker 6: don't really get into the energy drink business here. As
- 28:16Speaker 6: a matter of fact, in the NCAA, if an athlete
- 28:20Speaker 6: consumes caffeine it has to be on their own decisions
- 28:23Speaker 6: right we are not allowed to you know give them
- 28:26Speaker 6: caffeine as a supplement so there's actually rules written around
- 28:29Speaker 6: that so i think.
- 28:30Speaker 3: I think coffee is the only caffeine yeah.
- 28:33Speaker 4: Right don't don't drink an energy drink around jack marucci
- 28:36Speaker 4: he is going to have some stats and some analytics
- 28:39Speaker 4: to back it up i'm just letting you know don't
- 28:41Speaker 4: ever make that.
- 28:42Speaker 5: Mistake uh hey chef so a little bit different like
- 28:45Speaker 5: for lsu 11 a.m games aren't the norm Uh, so
- 28:50Speaker 5: what's the difference in the schedule and the, like, I know.
- 28:52Speaker 3: Every coach is a little bit different.
- 28:54Speaker 5: Sometimes they want to keep it the same, even though
- 28:56Speaker 5: you got to eat your pregame meal at like six
- 28:57Speaker 5: or seven in the morning, they don't want eggs. They
- 28:59Speaker 5: want the filet. They want the chicken. They want everything.
- 29:02Speaker 5: How is the, does the menu change because of the
- 29:05Speaker 5: time of the game?
- 29:07Speaker 6: It does. So, you know, typically you have a, uh, early,
- 29:10Speaker 6: early risers practice. and then you have a snack. And
- 29:14Speaker 6: this has changed by coach, by the way, because sometimes
- 29:17Speaker 6: you have an actual lunch, but right now we just
- 29:19Speaker 6: have a snack. But you go from game time and
- 29:23Speaker 6: back away from that, the amount of time that they
- 29:26Speaker 6: need to do this and that and the other. And
- 29:28Speaker 6: so I actually have not seen the timeline yet for
- 29:32Speaker 6: this weekend, but yes, the menu changes. Basically what we
- 29:35Speaker 6: do is we take a like a pre-game meal and
- 29:38Speaker 6: a breakfast and squish it together into a brunchy type
- 29:41Speaker 6: food with uh fillets and eggs and bacon and and
- 29:44Speaker 6: sausage but we also have mashed potatoes and pasta so
- 29:47Speaker 6: it'll it'll it'll be a weird looking uh menu but
- 29:50Speaker 6: it's it's by by design you know like you still
- 29:52Speaker 6: have to have those starches there for the uh complex
- 29:56Speaker 6: carbohydrates to have a longer burn and You don't find
- 29:59Speaker 6: a whole lot of that in breakfast, you know, in
- 30:02Speaker 6: breakfast potatoes, but it's deep fried, right? So that's not
- 30:04Speaker 6: necessarily good. So, yeah, you're going to see hash browns,
- 30:08Speaker 6: but you're also going to see pasta and red sauce.
- 30:11Speaker 4: All right, there he is, our guy, Chef Michael Johnson,
- 30:13Speaker 4: Executive Chef for LSU Athletics. Good enough to join us
- 30:16Speaker 4: every single Thursday to answer your munchie questions, Chef. We
- 30:19Speaker 4: thank you. We love you. Congratulations again, brother.
- 30:21Speaker 6: Thanks, guys. Appreciate y'all.
- 30:24Speaker 4: A man got hitched up in Mizzou.
- 30:28Speaker 5: Something about just sitting around after a nice celebration, a
- 30:33Speaker 5: nice event, sitting around a fire drinking some bourbon.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Sounds good.

- 33:27Speaker 4: Don't love that.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Why?
- 33:30Speaker 3: I'm pretty tech-savvy.
- 33:35Speaker 7: What?
- 33:35Speaker 8: I don't think anybody ever has described you as tech-savvy.
- 33:38Speaker 4: Not one person.
- 33:39Speaker 3: Name one thing I don't do well. Oh, you don't
- 33:42Speaker 3: make your own PowerPoints.
- 33:43Speaker 9: Okay.
- 33:45Speaker 5: How else am I supposed to do it during the show?
- 33:51Speaker 3: Well, that's... I can. I could do it. I don't
- 33:56Speaker 3: want to.
- 34:00Speaker 5: I plug things in. I fixed a whole computer the
- 34:04Speaker 5: other day. I was writing code. You brought that up
- 34:08Speaker 5: so many times. You're so proud of that.
- 34:10Speaker 3: You obviously remember how to do it now. You don't
- 34:12Speaker 3: need help anymore, right? Nope. I mean, AI is getting
- 34:18Speaker 3: its information from someone. You're looking at it. Sure, bud.
- 34:25Speaker 3: So you thought Kirk still played for the Vikings?
- 34:29Speaker 5: Well, he made a mistake, so I broke up with him.
- 34:31Speaker 5: I was exploring my options. That's why my relationship status
- 34:35Speaker 5: was complicated.
- 34:36Speaker 3: Okay, so what is it now after the PowerPoint, though?
- 34:38Speaker 3: Are y'all going steady?
- 34:40Speaker 5: I think we're pretty, I don't, I can't say exclusive yet,
- 34:43Speaker 5: so I still have to, without letting George Paul know,
- 34:48Speaker 5: I still have to extract a lot of information from him.
- 34:52Speaker 9: I mean, is this like second date holding hands top
- 34:55Speaker 9: of the movie theater?
- 34:59Speaker 3: It might be. It might be. Sharing a popcorn.
- 35:06Speaker 4: First movie that you and Lacey went and saw together?
- 35:08Speaker 3: That's a good question. That's why I asked.
- 35:11Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 35:14Speaker 3: I don't remember. Victoria? Iron Man 3.
- 35:19Speaker 4: Hell yeah, brother. God, Iron Man 3 came out that

- 35:43Speaker 4: From that movie.
- 35:43Speaker 3: Was it not there before?
- 35:44Speaker 7: No.

- 35:50Speaker 3: Rip. Yeah.
- 35:51Speaker 4: Rip. Sure.
- 35:52Speaker 3: I got that one right.
- 35:53Speaker 4: You did.
- 35:53Speaker 3: I didn't put a man in the grave early.
- 35:55Speaker 4: You did.
- 35:57Speaker 3: That's been a while since I did. Anyway, good movie.
- 36:02Speaker 4: Yeah, very good movie.
- 36:03Speaker 3: It was funny. Risk analysis? Is that what it was?
- 36:07Speaker 4: I think so.
- 36:08Speaker 3: For an insurance company?
- 36:08Speaker 4: I think so.
- 36:09Speaker 1: Yes.
- 36:10Speaker 3: That's a really good memory. Thank you.
- 36:12Speaker 4: You might dream in cartoons and draw in crayon, but
- 36:15Speaker 4: movie quotes?
- 36:16Speaker 3: I got it.
- 36:18Speaker 4: Steel trap. Hey, guess who University Lab School plays this week?

- 36:52Speaker 3: have nice uniforms.
- 36:54Speaker 4: J-Bone's going to have to sit out another week.

- 37:03Speaker 3: be hydrated. It's going to be fine.
- 37:04Speaker 4: We are. We are a very hydrated team. We're a
- 37:06Speaker 4: very hydrated team. I think collegiates should be hydrated, too,
- 37:11Speaker 4: just based off what you did to them.
- 37:17Speaker 3: Oh, you're talking about sponsorships now.
- 37:18Speaker 4: Yeah. Hell yeah, I am.
- 37:19Speaker 3: I ain't running a charity over here. I'm running a business. ROI,
- 37:26Speaker 3: you know.
- 37:28Speaker 4: All right, so tomorrow, again, we're going to be at
- 37:31Speaker 4: Rouse's tomorrow. This report came out real quick tomorrow. We're
- 37:36Speaker 4: going to be at Rouse's. We're going to have our
- 37:39Speaker 4: pontoon parlay. We're going to have what's the ticket. I
- 37:44Speaker 4: do want to add maybe. Y'all tell me because we've
- 37:47Speaker 4: done this in the past.
- 37:48Speaker 8: An NFL one?
- 37:49Speaker 4: Yeah, these NFL prices are getting crazy. Like crazy.
- 37:52Speaker 3: We should definitely do an NFL one.
- 37:55Speaker 4: Something about adding.
- 37:56Speaker 8: Yeah, we did both last year.
- 37:56Speaker 1: 2,000%.
- 37:57Speaker 3: I think it was.
- 37:58Speaker 4: Two years ago we did both. I don't think Matt
- 37:59Speaker 4: was here yet.
- 38:01Speaker 8: No, I think we did it last year because I
- 38:02Speaker 8: remember making the graphic.
- 38:04Speaker 3: No, we did an NFL parlay.
- 38:06Speaker 8: That's what we're talking about.
- 38:07Speaker 4: No, I was talking about what's the ticket?
- 38:10Speaker 8: Oh, what's the ticket? Oh, I thought we were talking
- 38:11Speaker 8: about the parlay.
- 38:12Speaker 4: We did a parlay last year. We did that last year.
- 38:14Speaker 3: Two years ago, we started doing what's the ticket with both.
- 38:17Speaker 8: The NFL and the college.
- 38:18Speaker 4: I'm down. I mean, we can just keep on doing
- 38:20Speaker 4: what we're doing.
- 38:21Speaker 3: Let's just play games the whole time.
- 38:23Speaker 4: Dude, our three is game day.
- 38:26Speaker 6: I know.
- 38:26Speaker 3: I love it. Let's do all three hours. I don't
- 38:30Speaker 3: think we could really stretch it to do that. What?
- 38:34Speaker 4: I don't have that many games. I should have, like,
- 38:40Speaker 4: copyrighted what's the ticket, even though you can't. It's really nothing.
- 38:42Speaker 3: Was there an injury report yesterday?
- 38:44Speaker 4: So many people have taken that.
- 38:46Speaker 3: From Mississippi State?
- 38:47Speaker 4: Yes, questionable. I didn't hear. Like, literally, I think for
- 38:52Speaker 4: a second. Maybe second.
- 38:54Speaker 7: Well, like, Rivers just came in here, and we talked
- 38:56Speaker 7: about it when she just came.
- 38:57Speaker 3: In here, too. That's twice you've missed it. What was
- 39:01Speaker 3: the first time? During the show. Oh, you're talking about her,
- 39:04Speaker 3: the show in the rivers. I did. You know?
- 39:10Speaker 4: As I said. Break up for tough, guys. As I said,
- 39:12Speaker 4: movie quotes, steel trap. Everything else, loose cannon.
- 39:19Speaker 7: I really, like I know we're getting like super far ahead,
- 39:22Speaker 7: but I need you to donate your brain to science
- 39:25Speaker 7: when you pass away.
- 39:28Speaker 3: Yeah, just write it in the will. Oh, no.
- 39:35Speaker 8: We need to find some stuff out.
- 39:36Speaker 3: People can learn some stuff.
- 39:37Speaker 8: They're going to ban football.
- 39:39Speaker 4: They're going to learn today.
- 39:40Speaker 3: They're going to learn today.
- 39:43Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh. That's good.
- 39:47Speaker 3: Well. You do. You want to study the best. You
- 39:51Speaker 3: want to study the best. Make improvements. Like, how can
- 39:59Speaker 3: we get to this level? How can we get to
- 40:01Speaker 3: this level of humanity? My God.
- 40:10Speaker 4: On that note.
- 40:12Speaker 3: I'm going to be frozen. Don't worry. Low Austin Powers,
- 40:16Speaker 3: come back.
- 40:17Speaker 8: I was just imagining you, like, in a cryo freeze.
- 40:22Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to pick a good pose because you're
- 40:24Speaker 3: in that pose forever. You got to forever. I mean,
- 40:26Speaker 3: you got to pick a good one.
- 40:27Speaker 5: Can you imagine getting frozen in a weird pose?
- 40:30Speaker 3: Like, you bend weird.
- 40:32Speaker 4: Or your neck when you get it unfrozen.
- 40:33Speaker 8: We got to freeze you with the backwards L.
- 40:36Speaker 4: That's what we got to do.
- 40:38Speaker 3: You're slouched and it looks like you got a hunchback
- 40:40Speaker 3: or something. You got to pick a good one. If
- 40:42Speaker 3: I get frozen with a backward L, just go ahead
- 40:44Speaker 3: and unfreeze it. All right.
- 40:46Speaker 4: You think about your pose. I'm going to tell the
- 40:47Speaker 4: people about Ashton or October is breast cancer awareness month
- 40:50Speaker 4: and Ashton or health reminds you that early detection can
- 40:53Speaker 4: make a life saving difference. Remember, take a moment, talk
- 40:57Speaker 4: with your doctor about personal risk factors and when you
- 41:01Speaker 4: should begin those regular mammograms and remind the women in
- 41:04Speaker 4: your life and the women that you love to do
- 41:06Speaker 4: the same. And so we talk about screening and making
- 41:09Speaker 4: sure that you're staying on top of your appointments. And,
- 41:13Speaker 4: you know, we talk about the risk factor of it because,
- 41:15Speaker 4: you know, if there's a family risk, that changes kind
- 41:17Speaker 4: of the timeline of your mammograms and when you should
- 41:20Speaker 4: get them. You can learn more and schedule everything today
- 41:22Speaker 4: at Oshner.org. Don't forget the My Oshner app as well
- 41:26Speaker 4: is available to you. So a couple of different ways
- 41:27Speaker 4: to schedule that appointment. Go to My Oshner, Oshner.com. All right,
- 41:32Speaker 4: what's your post? Oh, God.
- 41:40Speaker 8: That's what you're going to go with?
- 41:41Speaker 5: You're going to.
- 41:42Speaker 8: Be frozen forever, and that's what.
- 41:43Speaker 4: You're going with?
- 41:44Speaker 5: I don't know if you can pose. I feel like
- 41:46Speaker 5: if they were going to freeze you, they'd put you
- 41:47Speaker 5: to sleep first.
- 41:48Speaker 7: I would do the classic, like, death face and peace sign.
- 41:54Speaker 4: That's really frozen.
- 41:56Speaker 8: It's like a testament to my time.
- 41:59Speaker 3: I'd go with skinny arm.
- 42:00Speaker 4: I'd go probably like 3-1-8, 3-1-great. I'd be like this.
- 42:05Speaker 3: I'd go with the skinny arm.
- 42:06Speaker 8: Yeah, you got a skinny arm.
- 42:08Speaker 4: What's a skinny arm?
- 42:09Speaker 8: You pose so that your arm looks skinny.
- 42:12Speaker 3: If you're on the edge.
- 42:14Speaker 7: It accentuates your waist, too.
- 42:18Speaker 3: Okay. Obviously, Jake.
- 42:20Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Have you ever even been frozen? No. Have you ever
- 42:25Speaker 3: posed before?
- 42:26Speaker 4: No.
- 42:27Speaker 3: This guy's never even been frozen before.
- 42:29Speaker 4: All right. On that note, we'll take a break. You're
